Jags still aren't sure if MJD will play Week 14

Dec 03, 2012

When Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey was asked if RB Maurice Jones-Drew might be back next week against the Jets, he said, “I don’t know that for sure. We still have a few days to look at him, but right now, as we sit, it’s Montell Owens and Richard Murphy.”

Fantasy Impact:

With Jalen Parmele on IR, and now Rashad Jennings having a concussion, the running duties went to Owens and Murphy. Owens is a fourth-string back while Murphy was on IR last season, and this year was mainly on the practice squad. If MJD isn't back Week 14, that combo would see action this week and should probably be avoided outside of very deep leagues.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
